Beating The fiverr algorithm because that's what
this blog is about. This blog is about a question I see all over the internet
people are just obsessed with the idea of beating the fiverr algorithm showing
up in the top of search results and just crushing it as a freelancer on fiverr.
Alright so I'm just gonna start out with the meat
and potatoes of this blog just so that there's no tricks or you know building
up to some false excitement that you're looking for and straight up say it
there technically is NO beating the fiverr algorithm in the way that I think. A
lot of people who are searching for ways to beat the fiverr algorithm are
probably hoping to beat it, right. So just like every other search engine out
there you know the one that comes to mind google. There's really no tricks or
ways that you can consistently and you know sustainably beat the fiverr
algorithm right it's just not.
how it
works but there are things you can do that can kind of increase your luck or
your surface area for luck as a freelancer on the fiverr platform. So those are
the things that i'm going to focus on in this blog.
The things that you can actually do that might
have a positive impact on where you're ranking in five research we're not
talking about any sort of black magic tricks in this blog, because they don't
really exist. and if anyone you hear talking on on youtube is telling you
there's like some tricks or back alley ways to rank highly on fiverr search i'm
reluctant to believe it right so anyways let's get.
Into this list and I hope these are all really
helpful in you ranking higher in five research so when you're creating your
fiverr gigs you know your title the thumbnail the description does the that
idea or topic of keywords come to mind when you're doing that if it doesn't it
really should right and if you don't know what a keyword is i'm gonna give you
my back of the napkin description right now so you can have an understanding.
What are Keywords
So keywords are words or phrases that people use
to search for things in a search engine. Keywords are the words that the search
engine uses to connect whatever content you've put out there with what someone
searching for that content might be looking for. By using common words or
phrases that are similar and what people are searching for and in what they are
ending up finding in search.
So I hope that was a good description so the
value of keywords and why i'm bringing it up is if you want to rank in fiverr
search it makes sense to create your gigs in such a way that they include
phrases or words that people are likely to be searching for. By doing this and
putting this type of thought in when you're creating your gigs. You increase
the chances that your gig is going to be surfaced in fiverr search when
someone's searching for it right it makes sense. If someone's searching for
marketing emails and your gig has a thorough and robust gig description that
mentions that you do marketing emails or words related to marketing emails.
Fiverr might recommend your gig so this is first step and your gig is the main
area that you can pack with keywords. So think about it when you're creating
your gigs think about what keywords make sense in your niche but don't stuff
them and make it a mess of keywords you also need the description to make sense
and be helpful for someone reading it right. So work the key words into the
description in a way where they're there but it also sounds like a human wrote
it and a human can understand it right so keywords are important. The next
important thing you can do to make sure you're ranking in fiverr research is to
always have it in your mind that you want to exceed expectations with your
buyers. Now why do you want to do this well the obvious reason is to get
five-star ratings right. So as a freelancer we all know that sometimes we have
a project that we want to get done the buyer is tough to work with and we want
to move on but those could be the people that end up giving you a three or four
star rating and those three or four star ratings. might impact where you show
up in fiverr search right like fiverr doesn't wanna recommend people that
aren't gonna give their clients the best possible experience. Have it in your
mind and bake it into your being as a fiverr freelancer that in every
interaction with a buyer your goal is to exceed expectations and that will cut
the amount of times you get a negative rating. That will help you rate higher
in search and have the algorithm working for you, because if fiverr thinks
you're a great seller who exceeds expectation they're more likely to boost you
up the search too. So the next two things you need to think about that are kind
of things you need to bake into your day to day as a fiverr seller is response
time and minimizing order cancellations so fiverr tracks response time on your
seller dashboard. You'll notice that it breaks it down based on how you respond
that information is also available to buyers searching for you. So when it
comes to response time you want a fast response time from the buyer perspective
because they're more likely to reach out to you. If they think you're going to
get back to them right also from fiverr's perspective. If you have a slow
response time like 12 hours 24 hours many days i mean i wouldn't have much
faith in your seriousness as a freelancer if i was fiverr so why would they
right. So use common sense here it's a good best practice to respond as as
possible. Does fiverr installed on your mobile device if you get a message you
can hit them back up you know an hour would be the best but you don't need to
like go crazy to respond within like six six to seven hours or like a half day.
is reasonable especially given that we're all in different time zones here so
think about response time.
Second thing that's super important and I hear
about this a lot like almost every week in the comments someone's saying hey
exkudos, How do I recover from getting hurt by having a cancelled order. The
short answer is you need to not have a cancelled order right i know this sounds
like well how do I avoid having a cancelled order. what if it's not my fault as
freelancers it's our duty to do everything in our power to make sure we are not
having orders canceled. So that involves taking the time to understand the
buyer's requirements before they place an order proper communication with them
during the order a speedy delivery a delivery that meets their expectations
kindness politeness everything we need to go above and beyond to make sure
orders aren't canceled or orders that are cancelled do affect seller stats. So
many people tell me that they get an order canceled and their impressions views
clicks all drop almost immediately. It's kind of unpredictable to know when
they will recover and the only way to recover using common sense is by not
getting cancelled orders in the future. So try not to get into that trap this
goes back to going above and beyond you know find a way in a situation where a
buyer is thinking about canceling to make it work for them if you need to reset
expectations. If you need to change pricing if you need to change the delivery
timeline or run a new discovery workshop or messaging flow with them . So you
better understand what they're looking for you need to do whatever it is you
can do to avoid cancellations because the short and fast of it is they're going
to hurt any freelancer because fiverr as a platform doesn't want cancellations
right they're a platform that makes money off people. Placing orders getting
completed and the buyers replace these orders placing repeat orders. If buyers
have a bad experience and need to cancel they might go to a different
freelancer or freelancing platform and that's not good for fiverr so that's not
good for us. So response time cancellation is important keep a low response
time and cut cancellations. Zero is best but you know if something happens you
gotta move forward when that happens. So those are two very important things
all right so that's it there are no magic tricks to beating the fiverr
algorithm. But there are things you can do to increase the likelihood of you
appearing in fiverr search. what I mentioned in this blog these are all some of
the basics that you can do that will make sure you're getting up there. Stop
trying to beat the system if that's why you're at this blog. Start doing the
right things you know put in the reps you know any bodybuilder will tell you,
you gotta get in the gym and do the reps to get the gains. It's the same with
fiverr there are no shortcuts there are no shortcuts at all so i hope this blog
was helpful. There's a ton of other resources on this channel to help you out
and if you have any questions leave one in the comments and i'll do my best to
answer as as possible so until next time cheers
